[Mapserver-users] Images in the Template File

Beth -

That's a symptom of your Web server's virtual directory structure not
mapping exactly on to your file system's structure, or of paths in the
"SRC" field of those images that are file/directory paths rather than
URL paths.  Just as a random example, the following IMG tag:

	<IMG SRC="C:\Pics\MyArrow.jpg">

Will work just fine if I open that HTML file locally, but won't work at
all if I come in over the Web via a URL.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Images in the Template File

Hello!

I'm relatively new to MapServer and am still learning how to use it...

I'm currently working on adding JavaScript-based panning controls as
shown in the online Tutorial.  Although I've got the actual controls
working, the eight arrow graphic images (I've tried GIF, JPEG and PNG
file formats) do not show up.  I just get "missing picture" icons around
the map.  If I open the template file in a browser window without going
through MapServer, the arrow graphics display fine.  Does anyone know
what the problem might be and a possible solution?

Thanks in advance,
Beth
